With his baby’s help, an emotional Jimmy Kimmel delivers another political plea on behalf of sick kids

  • After a week off due to his son’s heart surgery, Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! with another political monologue. With baby Billy in his arms, Kimmel spoke on behalf of the program CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), which Congress recently failed to renew. “I’ve had enough of this,” Kimmel said. “I don’t know what can be more disgusting than putting a tax cut that mostly goes to rich people ahead of the lives of children. Why hasn’t CHIP been funded already? If these were potato chips they were taking away from us, we would be marching on Washington with pitchforks and spears right now.”
